Helper V
Helper VHow to shorten multiple OR conditions when filtering column in Power Query
Hello to all,
I Have to filter Column1 (Col1) for values A, B, C, D, E or F doing this:
= Table.SelectRows(#"Previous Step", each ([Col1] = "A" or [Col1] = "B" or [Col1] = "C" or [Col1] = "D" or [Col1] = "E" or [Col1] = "F"))
If I have several OR conditions is possible to do in a shortest way?, something similar to this?
= Table.SelectRows(#"Previous Step", each ([Col1] = {"A","B","C","D","E","F"}))Thanks in advance
Hi cgkas,
Try List.Contains. Something like:
Table.SelectRows(#"Previous Step", each (List.Contains({"A","B","C","D","E","F"},[Col1])))

Table.SelectRows(#"Previous Step", each (List.Contains({"A","B","C","D","E","F"},[Col1])))
cgkasMany thanks AIB,
It seems to work.
I know is another question, only to know if it is possible to use wildcards (regex) to shorten even more. Something like this:
Table.SelectRows(#"Previous Step", each (List.Contains({"AB*","BC*"},[Col1])))- AlB
In this case you could use
List.Contains({"A".."F"},[Col1])which will include all letters between A and F.
As for the wildcards, maybe this posting will be useful
